PROS

CONS

Sound bugs; grinding sound-clip just cuts in and seems to forget to stop.

VERDICT

Like most free titles, Bullistic is worth it for the couple of minutes of enjoyment it gives, but without more substance added to the mix it'll quickly be forgotten.

App Store Info

It takes a lot of guts to put your money where your mouth is in an attempt to reinvent the wheel, but Millepede Creative Development have taken up the challenge with their animal-flinging title Bullistic.

Players are given a large slingshot; a bunch of bulls; and a target of five various shops, filled to the brim with the finest in pottery goods ('China' if you will). It's not hard to see what this equation is meant to add up to and after flinging a handful of bulls in to the shop, terrorizing the owner and damaging what you can, you're given a score represented in the cost of the damage performed.

A lot of time has gone in to the presentation of such a simple concept, including the simple touch of throwing out a grinding background soundtrack once you've started your violent rampage, but after only a few attempts at playing the game you realize you've been given what you paid for. That is to say, not much at all. While bashing through a building with a bull is fun the first time around, the ability to precisely aim isn't given at all (in fact it's far too easy to completely overshoot for most angles you set) and audio bugs turn poor shots in to an ear-splitting waste of time.

A *lot* more is planned to be added through updates in the future, including the removal of adverts (likely through in-app purchasing) and it's possible that these additional features will turn a time-waster in to a genuinely interesting title, but for now it's only worth grabbing for the few minutes of amusement it provides and little else.

Description

The gate is open, the bulls have escaped and no china shop is safe.

As seen on Kotaku, Appmodo, Digg and featured on App Stores worldwide!!

From the devs:
Back by popular demand! Thanks to everyone who downloaded Bullistic Unleashed. As requested, the rough-as-guts, classic Bullistic is back on the store. Enjoy!

Love Millipede

**********************************************

Launch the bulls into the shop to cause as much destruction as you can. Ensure every vase, plate, and glass has been destroyed to run up a damage bill equivalent to that of a natural disaster. Be aggressive. Be angry. Break stuff.

Achieve the required damage bill for each level to proceed or stay and try to clear the level with one shot. It can be done – we promise.

Bullistic features fun and physics-based gameplay (based on a game about some very upset birds), hilarious characters, 15 puzzling levels to demolish, Game Center leaderboards and achievements, and optimised for Retina Display.

Bullistic has been developed in response to the continually asked question 'We want a game like' [insert best-selling physics game about birds here] 'Can you build something like it?'

Yes. Yes we can. Bullistic is a fine example of the physics-based puzzle games that are currently dominating the App Store.

You already know how to play. Go play it!
